REVIEW – The Interview – because America.
| 18. December, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Returning Guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week, Katey, Patches, David, and The Guardian’s Jordan Hoffman defy North Korea and the bigwigs at Sony by reviewing The Interview, a movie that will never see the light of day. Drowned in controversy over its depiction of Kim Jong-un, Sony buried the latest from Seth Rogen and This Is the End co-director Evan Goldberg after hacker terrorists threatened to attack theaters showing the picture. Which is too bad… because the movie is pretty damn funny. Hoping that one day, listeners will be able to this lowbrow-highbrow gem, the FITWR crew decided a review was still in order. A brief mention of Sony truly offensive holiday offering, Annie, and answers to this week’s lightning round question rounds out this week’s review episode.

REVIEW – Nightcrawlin’ for Nightcrawler
| 31. October, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Returning Guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week The Guardian and New York Daily News film critic Jordan Hoffman joins David and Patches for a ride into the underbelly of movie podcasting. It’s not as glittery as it looks. Sometimes you’re ambulance chasing the latest DOA blockbusters. Sometimes you’re looking to get off on the sweet, sweet high of a great film. And then there’s Nightcrawler from writer-director Dan Gilroy, a movie that sends the trio for an all-night ride into the mouth of hell. Happy Halloween!

And Da7e Liked The Good Lie

This week, Da7e, Patches, Joanna and David dig into what it means that Fox has decided to give Ryan Reynolds another shot at being a superhero and the internet comic fans what they want with a Deadpool movie in 2016. What does this have to do with superhero movies if anything? And while Joanna still sits in for Katey, Da7e wants to grill her on her feelings about the new 8th season of Dr. Who, maybe just so he can also talk about it. That and Da7e liked The Good Lie the sort-of-Reese Witherspoon movie about The Lost Boys of the Sudan.

40 – Live From A.O. Scott’s Lawn, It’s the Death of Adulthood
| 16. September, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Oh, Say, Can You See? That They’re Talking About Kevin Smith Too?

This week, Katey’s gone AWOL, so it’s up to returning champion Matt Patches to set the tone for the show. Patches wants to talk about A.O. Scott’s New York Times essay on the death of adulthood (LINK), then he wants to discuss The Star-Spangled Banner in honor of it’s 200th anniversary. Then, in honor of Tusk, Kevin Smith’s new horror film that Patches has seen, it’s back to the Kevin Smith well to check in: what do we all think about the Askew View of this now Tusk and Red State filmmaker? That plus a lightning round question about confusing movies.
